Drake disses Jay-Z during Raptors-Nets game

Drake, ambassador for the Toronto Raptors, went on TSN during the 3rd quarter of the club’s Eastern Conference quarterfinal opener up against the Brookyln Nets — which Jay-Z formerly had a minority stake in — and threw some jabs toward the Brooklyn-born rapper.

“Jay-Z is somewhere eating a fondue plate,” Drake joked as he talked with Raptors broadcasters Matt Devlin and Jack Armstrong.

The remark stems from comments Drake made about Jay-Z’s high-end lifestyle to Rolling Stone in February.

“It’s like Hov can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references. I would love to collect at some point, but I think the whole rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny,” he said.

Hov responded by calling out Drake in a recent song saying, “Sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art/Silly me, rappin’ ’bout s— that I really bought/While these rappers rap about guns that they ain’t shot/And a bunch of other silly s— that they ain’t got.”

It would appear as though the two hip-hop artists won’t be coming together to make music again anytime soon, no matter who wins this series.
